What will we NOT be doing in schools?
We started with the 3 R's.
Then there was Phys Ed.
There there was Health
Then there was "Home Economics" aka cooking.
Then there was Civics.
Then there was Woodworking (aka Shop)
Then there was Music.
Then there was Art.
Then there was Theater.
Then there was Driver's Ed.
Then there was sex education (someday I hope that someone plots a timeline that correlates promiscuity with public school sex education)
Then there were guidance counsellors
Then there were nutritionists
Then there was grief counselling
Then there was "after school" aka day care. (my grandsons used that)
When I went to vote this year at the elementary school there was a sign saying the this was a "No Bullying Zone" so we now have bullying prevention.
It's also a drug free zone, so we have drug prevention.
It's also a tobacco free zone so we have smoking prevention.
There are armed guards walking the halls in the middle schools and the high schools in the district.
There are nurses on staff in the district
There's a psychiatrist on staff in the district.

What the hell, we might as well throw in Child Development!

Hmm I wonder why we spend so much on schools and yet our kids are struggling with Math and Science?
